account have exceeded that sum annually
Now, let us see what the present council has
done, and what, understand, it proposes to
do:
First. 1t has handled judiciously the ap-
preparation made by the former council to
purchase a new pump and erect an engine
house for same; and has kept such expenditures
within the limit of said appropriation.
Second. 1t has reclaimed over $8, 900 90 of
delinquent taxes which had been charged off
the books during the past eleven years as un-
collectable, and has pushed to collection more
than 81, 100000 of the uncoHected ''Carroll
tickets" over and above what they were esti-
mated to be worth by the council that had
just preceded them.

COWS FOR HE DAIRY.

Some OF the Essential Points to lie Com
81 Iercd In Their Selection.
1t is hardly to be expected, in a coun-
try of so great diversity OF soil, climate
and elevation as OURS, that there should
not be as great diversity in the breeds
of cows adapted thcHeto. It is wise
man who has the faculty of adapting /.
breed to situation, or rather tho
practical oxperiSnce to determine
whether the soil and situation is fully
calculated to the purpose OF dairying
as a special business.
To succeed in dairying, the pastures
must be flush and long continued, and
the means Of providing rich food in
winter ample and cheap. Next, and
no less essential, there must be plenty
of pure, living water. Then again.
some means must be available where
fine butter is TO be made, of holding a
comparatively low temperature. These
assured, there is certainly no manu-
facture connected with the farm that
promises better returns, If discrimina-
ton has been used in the selection of
the COWS or the establishment of tho
breed to be kept
Whatever the breed, the cows must
give large messes of milk, and long
continued, for no man can succeed in
dairying who expects to milk cows
through the season and when dry turn
them of for beef, depending upon pick
ing up others for the supply. This
course never held a herd that would
give milk enough to make dairying
profitable. The dairy of cows that will
not average four hundred gallons Of
milk per COW for the year had better
be discarded. The higher one can
raise the. average above this by judi
cious feeding the greater the profit
We say judicious, for the man who
overfeeds for a record on cows does so
at cost never concentrated in
dollars and cents for the milk obtained,
Judicious feeding means the best food
that cln be made on the farm, supple
mented, for variety, with bran and
other millstuff that may usually DO
bought cheaply, due care being taken,
while feeding as much as can be prop
erly digested, not to overfeed. Hence
the best dairy COW is the one that can
cut and digest the most grass, and turn
IL into milk instead OF rat; Tor grass is,
and must ever be. the main food dur
ing the larger part of the year. Farm,
